Greece

Hello! I am Dora and please let me invite you to my Mix-and-Match trip in Athens as well as at the Mount Parnassus. Why Mix-and-Match? Everybody remembers Greece for Acropolis and Parthenon or the Aegean blue waters, the sun kissed beaches and the extravagant parties! But let’s put the truth on the table. Yes, you can snow ski in Greece, and you will be amazed how many ski centers there are even only a couple of hours from Athens. We begin our road-trip by a VIP minibus to the Mount Parnassus because it’s the largest and best equipped ski resort in Greece near cosmopolitan Arahova village. Skiing at the resort is an option with the accessories available to rent while whoever wants, can just relax at the chaise longue and enjoy the spectacular view from the mountain top! We will continue our cultural adventure with the archeological site of Delphi among UNESCO world heritage sites, only half an hour trip from the mountain. Spending two days at central Greece, the Athens city exploration and archeology experience begins! We will stay at beautiful shared or private rooms with the view of Parthenon! You will see the stops below. Bring with you the most comfortable shoes for our city walks and mountain hiking and warm but layered outfit. The winter in Athens is moderate and the sunshine warms us always!! Expectations from the trip I am looking forward to sharing a high quality and a luxurious trip in Greece offering relaxation and enlightenment. We will spend refreshing time outdoors in the mountains, exploring and learning about the history and myths of the archeological sites from an experienced and highly qualified archeologist. I would also love to share with you my passion for my city, Athens, and experience together the energy and vibes the city gives off. ✔ What is included in this experience?
